Duke Carl, Of Wurtemberg. was great
hand at a practical joke in his younger
days. Once he called at farm house and
asked the farmers wife, who was churn-
ing. for a drink OF milk. She did not
know her visitor, but went away to fetch
the milk, when the duke seized cat
which was lying near, and threw it, to-
Gether with ducat, into the churn
When the woman returned. he drank the
milk and walked away. Ayear later the
same prince entered the house in different
dress, and again asked for glass of milk
and inquired whether some one hadn't
once secreted Il cat in her churn. The
farmers wife LAUGHED, and saide ''Oh,
yes; and l wouldn't mind his doing it
again at the same price" What did you
do with the butter you were churnine

THE GREAT AMERICAN LAKES.

""''e -" A"ey wv A~" S"PPS W
water"-ChanGe Of Level.
1t has long been known that the great
lake are subject to remarkable and SEEM
ingly capricious changes of level. These
changes are roughly registered in the va
rying volume of the st. Lawrence-that
remarkable river. itself the outlet Of these
greet lakes and m a sense a continuataOn
and part of the lakes themselves. = In
some Years the st. Lawrence. WHICH
drains watershed of over 50osts0
square miles. Is much fuller all summer
than IN other years. 1t leaves Lake Erie
already broad river, forty feet deep.
AT the great cataract OF Niagara 1t de-
scends with Its enormous mass OF nearly
100000 cubic feet OF water IN every Sec
ond of time.
This almost incomprehensible mass OF
water. the drainage or overflow of all the
great lakes. varies in volume with the
level of the lakes OF which 1t Is part.
A Milwaukee paper gives some interest
ing facts relating to these mysterious
irregular tidal movements, or change OF
level, In Lake Michigan. This. the
second IN size and depth OF these great
lakes-the largest bodies of fresh water
on the g'obe-ls subject to strange huctu-
ations, being several feet lower IN some
years than IN others. Lake Michigan ls
a deep lake-about a thousand feet deep,
or practically as deep rs Lake Superior.
1t has been, 1t seems. for nearly thirty
years the practice OF the government to
take daily measurements Of the height OF
the water at Milwaukee,. The water
which at that point tas the clInglng
memory of plunge into it at the close
Of July. lS49, still attests) Is almost as
lc,r cold as 1t Is at Mackinaw-ls usually
foot or two higher in summer than it Is
in winter; but in some years the varia-
ton is equal to three or four feet. This
represents, on so great q body OF water,
an enormous difference. Lake Superior
alone Is almost as large as the great state
OF OHIO. while Lake Michigan, the direct
receiver OF Its overflow, Is about as large
as Massachusetts,, Vermont and New
Hampshire put together. change OF
three or four feet IN the level OF these
great lakes implies difference In the
amount of water too great to be fully
understood and appreciated. The other
lakes necessarily participate in these
fluctuations: but these appear to be most
marked in Lake Michigan
Their cause Is not yet wholly under
stood. Various theories have been ad-
vanced to account for them-even to the
absurd extent Of connecting them with
the ocean tidal movements. But far
simpler explanation seems more probable.

dent Hayes.
To the Editor OF the Republic:
In the interest Of truth, please allow .
correction Of . statement made in your issue
of Saturday. the 5th inst. in an editorial
headed 'Leonardism" DIR. Leonard did
not denounce ex-President Hayes las the
man who accepted the office Of president
of the United States to which he had not
been elected" He simply said that Mr..
Hayes's administration refused to recog-
nize the election Of Hon. S. B. Packard as
governor Of Louisiana, although Mr.. Pack
ard. a. the candidate Of the republican par
ty in that state. had received larger ma
jority than the HAYES and Whesler elec-
tors rec, ived.
DIR Leonard cited this fact simply to
show that the republican party Of the North
had not stood by the republican party OF
the South at time when Its help might
have accomplished something.
II any one will refer to volume H., page
500. Of Twenty Years Of Congress, he
will find very much severer language used
than DIR. Leonard employed in character
izing this policy. and yet the REPURLIC
will hardly ''call in or shut up" Mr.. Blaine.
